    Jesus gives his disciples and his church one mission--to love God with all our heard, and to love our neighbor. This is a mission lived daily--that takes a lifetime to fulfill.

    Mark 12:28-34 “People with a Mission” INTRODUCTION I used to think that I was the only Kevin Ruffcorn in the United States and perhaps the world. Several years ago, to my surprise, I learned that there was another Kevin Ruffcorn in Texas. About that same time I received a copy of the ...read more

    Mothers Are Special

    Why did Moses take the position that he did in choosing to suffer with God’s people rather than being identified with his step parents? It had to be through the influence of his mother.

    Mothers Are Special ILL. Erma Bombeck wrote a column telling of God in the act of creating mothers. She wrote that on the day God created mothers He had already worked long overtime. And an angel said to Him, "Lord, you sure are spending a lot of time on this one." The Lord turned & said, ...read more

    This message shows the gaps that are in the hedge or defense around the nation, based upon the gaps in the defenses around Jerusalem. This message shows the need for men and women of God to take a stand and call sin, sin.

    The Hedge of God Ezekiel 22.23-31 (text—30) The main aspect of the ministry of Ezekiel was that of exposing the sins, the immorality, and the injustice of the people where he lived.

    From a series of Wednesday night Bible Studies on Psalms 1-23. David thinks he has been disciplined enough, but we take the time to contrast parental discipline and godly discipline.
